"He wanted a wealth tax in the neighborhood of 33%, way back when. Sure, he could pay it and not feel the pinch. It would destroy farms, small stores, etc. That right there turned me off to him forever.

The lies spread here are astounding,

In his book published in 2000 he proposed a ONE TIME tax of the VERY wealthy in order to pay off the national debt.

He has since said that the plan would no longer work because of the astronomical increase in the debt.

By the way the Wealth Tax, one time only, was in the neighborhood of 10% not 33%.

“In his book published in 2000 he proposed a ONE TIME tax of the VERY wealthy in order to pay off the national debt.”

Sorry. You say it’s a worm. I see the hook. If it works so well the first time, they’ll do it again and again. It’s double taxation. What’s wealth other than the income that the tax man didn’t get the first time. It’s double taxation, and that itself is wrong. And the fact that it’s on the very wealthy is itself a false argument out of the twilight zone. Push this button and you will become rich, only someone you don’t know will die.

“He has since said that the plan would no longer work because of the astronomical increase in the debt.”

Not because it’s out of the Communist Manifesto? I don’t trust him. Democrats are the party of the super dooper rich, such as Armand Hammer, George Soros, and Donald Trump. He’s not to be trusted.
